kiwifruit

The kiwifruit is chock full of Vitamin C, in fact it contains several times more of it than citrus fruit. It has a quite sour taste, which is exactly why I love it. Some people peel the whole fruit before eating it, but that will leave you with extremely sticky hands and kiwi juice all over the place. Thus, my preferred method of eating kiwifruit is to cut them in half and extract the fruit flesh with a spoon. However, this can be difficult if the fruit is not yet completely ripe and thus still hard.

In a good year kiwifruit get down to 40cents per kilogram (that's about 15cents american) on the local market. This is for export rejects, which typically means that the fruit aren't aren't round but bi-lobed. Many locals eat the smoother skinned varieties skin and all.
